I know how desperate yet stupidly long-winded this seems and looks, but please, just hear me out.
Ever since the forced update from 1709 to 1803, whenever I record with OBS, and I mean this version and it's popular fork, I seem to run into distortion problems. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXRuOay58YE
In that example, used in the fork I am avoiding specifically naming for the sake of safety, you will hear the distortion this request for help is based on.
Now, before I continue, I just want to let you know that I have, *in fact*, met the same results with vanilla OBS Studio.
...But, there is a small problem with all of this: It only occurs with the program I have used, and anything else that plays it: LMMS and, as seen in the thumbnail, Audacity. To further divulge on this, *I* can hear it just fine through any pair of headphones I connect to the machine I am using these programs with. I can also hear it just fine through Audacity itself. However, for some strange reason, when recorded through OBS (and an accompanying fork), the distortion is there. For anyone who has checked the channel and is wondering, the result is that I had to record the audio happening with Audacity, then mute the original audio and line up the audio Audacity recorded, all before sitting there while the video renders for various amounts of time, all in Blender 2.79, thanks to it's Video Sequence Editor.
To make matters worse, I have asked the guys behind LMMS; they were out of ideas. I have also asked the guys behind the fork I will not name; they had nothing, either. I have even made a Feedback Hub thread for the Windows 10 forums, in case *anyone* wants to see that thread, and I have raised this *same* topic with someone who had told me they had a hand in the Sound department of Windows; while they acknowledged the problem and the thread, and while we spoke for a little bit, this was months ago, just *days* after the widespread forced update from 1709 to 1803. To this day, you guessed it, but you guessed wrong, they did *not* happen to have no idea as to what to do. Instead, no response on the thread I had posted how long ago, and to this day, I have *also* yet to hear back from the guy I just spoke about.
Set aside that rather long-winded speech of mine, I have come to ask if *anyone* else is experiencing this problem. If you want to know how to replicate it, in case you want to, allow me to explain:
First, I am using LMMS 1.2.0, Release Candidate 6. They have a website you can download it from, but I am not about to tell you where it is, for the sake of safety.
Audacity is optional here, and I am saying this for a reason.
Open up LMMS, then open up Nescaline. Mute all but the first or second channels. Open OBS and record yourself playing some of the sounds out of Nescaline, then hear it back. If this is successful, you will hear the distortion. That is right, you do not even *need* Audacity for this problem to occur.
This is the part where I swiftly blame the forced update from 1709 to 1803, as I had experienced *no* distortion, up to date, before that *particular* point. Yes, "forced", because, if you check the forums, if you check Reddit threads in particular, you will even see a megathread for a wide assortment of problems, sound problems being chief among them.
I have come here, not *at all* expecting any solutions, but to ask if, quite possibly, I am not the only one who is experiencing this problem in particular. I am *not* capable of digging under the hood for this, but if there is any way I could help run some tests with this, if it would be *anything* believed to help remedy the problem, I will try. I will *also* say that, again, I highly doubt the source of problems stems from either vanilla OBS Studio or it's fork, or the programs LMMS or Audacity, mainly that it lies somewhere within what happened with the update to 1803. I want to pinpoint the problem at the use of direct square and saw waves, since that is where the distortion occurs. If anyone digs around through the rest of my channel, you may find that there is absolutely *no* distortion present. No, I did *not* render all of those videos with Blender, I would not have uploaded even *1/2* of those videos in such a case. I just want to know if there is any way I could possibly help fix this, hopefully within reason, or if I am utterly screwed and at the possible mercy of an Operating System's company which refuses to let anyone choose when to hold off from updating without being fully aware of what will break or otherwise ruin their productivity.
